Unwanted Looping
Thanks George and vkmast for that information. I am using Vegas Movie Studio 10. I see I posted a question on looping some time ago - sorry about that, I'd quite forgotten. I didn't realise the use of the i and o keys, and that is making my life a lot easier - much better than dragging to get rid of the loop. Back to my project, with much appreciation for your help.

Unwanted Looping
Thanks for that, George. But I am still puzzled. I used to be able to double-click without creating a loop. Now when I do it the loop is created. What can I have done to alter the status quo?!

Unwanted Looping
I want to select the area above it (exactly) so that any text frame or generated media i insert will be positioned precisely above the picture.

Problems with Preview
My preview settings are on Best/Full. Thanks, vkmast, you're quite right - the problem sounds the same as I have had before. However, what I can't understand is why this problem should suddenly occur again when I always use the same settings - for most of my projects, everything goes as it should. I am, as must be clear, a relative novice to Sony Vegas: I would be grateful if you could suggest the settings that might work best for me?

Can I edit a clip in Vegas and save it as a jpeg?
I could not see a map symbol, but on investigating the icons above the preview window I saw an icon which says 'Save snapshot to file' which does exactly what I want. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

All frames distorted in Sony Vegas
Thank you SO much vkmast. Problem solved. Don't know how it came about but am relieved that I'm back on the right track.

All frames distorted in Sony Vegas
"Adjust source media to better match project or render settings" is on. Please forgive my ignorance in not knowing where to Find G Spot or Media Info. Can you elucidate?

Timeline marker stays put
Thanks for staying with me, vkmast and for your input, Chienworks. Sorry about my imprecise terminology - I did, in fact, mean the cursor. I have now discovered that when I start a new project, my cursor works as normal. The problem is when I load a .mp4 file into vegas and try to edit that - then the cursor cannot be persuaded to move, whatever I do. I have had trouble with the cursor on other occasions - for example, when in a new project and I press the stop key, it doesn't stop at the point where I stop it but at some point previous to that.

Timeline marker stays put
Thank you vkmast for that detailed explanation. I have experimented with Autoripple but it does not really address my problem, which is that although my video plays properly and the time in seconds is displayed on the upper left of the screen, the vertical marker on the timeline down through the tracks stays in one place all the time and does not progress along the track while the video is played. So if I start with the vertical marker at 00.15 on the time ruler it stays there despite the clock on the left showing time progressing. And I cannot drag the vertical marker to different places on the timeline.

Video effect: is this possible?
Thank you for the advice, Chienworks. I'll take your ideas on board and work on it - if I get a Eureka moment, I'll let you know.

Can't play saved Architect files
Thanks for the information, Peter and Musicvid. I can now play the videos. I DID warn you that I was witless! Can you now suggest any way to burn the movies from these folders on my hard disc to make new DVD copies?

Media offline when switching between computers
Thanks for the tip, Doc Satori. In view of your suggestion we have now saved both the Vegas project and the photos on a memory stick, activating the 'Copy Media with Project' before saving. Problems have dissolved like the morning mist and the project can now be produced on any computer at will. It is a pity that Sony Vegas, a program with such a lot to offer, does not provide more detailed, user-friendly instructions. I feel lucky that people on these forums are so willing to share their expertise to help flounderers such as myself.

Media offline when switching between computers
A thousand thanks, Steve. This is not the first time that you have helped me out. We did not really understand the manual relink option and thought that 'Search for missing file' meant that the search operation would have to be repeated for every single file, which would have been very time consuming. Now that you have explained that having found one file the program will search for the other files in the same location, everything has fallen into place and files which seemed lost have reappeared and are behaving properly. I could not find this information anywhere I looked on the web, so I'm really grateful for the assistance - bambino.

Media offline when switching between computers
It seems not. I have tried copying both the pictures and the project file to my desktop and loading the program from there but it makes no difference. The only Media Offline help the Sony manual gives is to change the options in Preferences to ensure that the checkbox for 'Close Media Files when not the application' is unticked. I have looked on the internet and have found that several other people are floundering with the same problem as myself when moving data from one computer to another. The person working with me has now found that when he tried to load the program from the memory stick to his own computer after trying to work on mine he got the Media Offline message on that, as well.

epc behaving strangely
If you read my post more carefully, you would see that I have already done exactly what you advise, but to no avail. I have been using epc successfully since receiving help from this forum nearly a year ago (as you astutely spotted)! Why I should now have a problem is a mystery to me.

My video track is deleted when I delete audio
Thanks for the prompt advice. And it worked! As soon as I took the auto-ripple off I could delete the audio without any problem.

What's wrong with my settings?
I'm suitably chastened, Chienworks. Although the black lines will continue to bug me, I'll do as you say and try to work around it.

What's wrong with my settings?
Thanks, Tog. I was afraid that might happen. Trial and error is a very time-consuming way to learn and I had hoped that someone might be able to suggest a project setting which would allow me to work without problems on the timeline and then play the final DVD satisfactorily (no black lines) on a widescreen TV.

What's wrong with my settings?
Thanks for the responses. I have checked the settings in the preview window and have 'Simulate device aspect to fit preview window' and 'Scale video to fit preview window' both checked. If I use a 4.3 project setting as you suggest, Steve, how will this affect the movie when I watch it on a widescreen TV?

Cluttered project media
What can I say? You'll have gathered I'm a novice and I do appreciate the time you've taken to answer. Can now see how I should have been doing it all along. Vegas is a steep learning curve for a beginner like me and it's good that people who know what's what are so willing to help in these forums - bambino

Thanks for the suggestion, ericlast - but what I was looking for was something that I could use within Vegas itself. Guess I'll have to keep doing things the long way round - bambino
